Even on my screen, it's kinda off-balanced with the left bar out so
much, but I can see why, cause they don't want the "click and load the
sub-menu" game going on, which is fine.

I am kinda sad about the outcome of the "Broadband or dialup" poll.
While the page doesn't take THAT much time to load, they're obviously
favoring that market since that market spoke up.

A bit sad the old posts got lost entirely (cause there were some I was
reading and hoping for a last minute reply to and don't want to post
again and seem desperate).

Then again, that'd be if I COULD post. I too have a case of "But
you're logged in!" Gee...thanks. Why can't I post?

I think the new format is pretty solid. Or at least, a good "new
start point" for the site.

I disable all those irritating plug-ins as well, but my wife
re-enabled them because her work required it....

It's a great-looking site - I like it.

I think the thing I like the most is the Dark Ages section because it
makes me hope that the line will continue. As I've just spent a few
months gathering together a group from scratch (yes, ye gameless, it
is possible) and we start this week, I'm glad our chosen game might
not be going south after all.
